I have a ligature(2) of 4 components: [0.base, 1.ornament, 2.ornament, 3.base],
and only the 2 base glyphs have top anchors,
then I activated Auto Attach for the ligature glyph and got 2 reference anchors: top (on 0.base) and top3 (on 3.base).
Is there a way to make the Auto Attach ignore the ornament glyphs and give the anchors: top (on 0.base) and top1 (on 3.base)?
I tried changing the OT class of the ornament glyphs to unassigned and component but it seems not to affect the recognition of anchors.
I have an Arabic ligature combining the letters Sad and Reh, which are connected using cursive attachment along with other shapes and components. Both Sad and Reh should receive diacritical marks (Tashkeel) when using the font. However, the marks on the second letter, Reh, are not showing up correctly because the connecting shapes are being treated as separate glyphs.
To solve this issue I turned off the auto attach and placed the anchors manually on the first and last glyphs as top & top1, although it would be more convenient if it could simply reference the anchors from their bases.
I have another question that I’m unsure about and would appreciate your guidance on.
Is there a way to choose which anchor the auto-attached mark should connect to? For example, in this image, I have a Sad-Yeh ligature, which is a combination of Sad-AlefMaksura with two dots below. The two dots should attach to the second anchor below, leaving the first anchor free for diacritics when using the font. However, in auto-attach mode, the marks automatically take the first available anchor instead.
